His name is taken from the French phrase used in {{wp|fencing}}: "''En garde''" ("on guard", "put your guard up", ie: "be ready"), presumably due to Enguarde's long, sword-shaped bill. As an aquatic creature, Enguarde appears in many underwater areas. With his sharp, pointed bill, he can defeat many underwater enemies, which the [[Kong]]s cannot do by themselves. Enguarde is capable of moving around fast while underwater. While usually portrayed as an individual, occasionally multiple Enguardes can be seen at once. | ||
